"Shut up!"

Luo Lingzhi was so angry that he kicked this person directly, with a horizontal sword on his neck with one hand, and with the other hand, he urged the wood-based ability in his body to turn into a vine and flew up to the guard. Gu Huaiyi was also worried about not daring to really kill these people, and the sword that stabbed out had to avoid the other party's vital point, so it was inevitable that he would be restrained.

"My lord, the person who went to change the guard at the ferry came back and said that Luoshui had flooded half of the ferry!"

Just when things were stalemate, a shout came from outside the hospital, and then a middle-aged man about forty years old ran in, his face was anxious, but he was directly stunned when he saw the situation in the hospital.

Cui Taishou came back to his senses, but he almost fainted in front of him.

"Don't play dead!"

Luo Lingzhi directly slapped him on the shoulder with the scabbard and snorted coldly: "Now I always believe it!" Hurry up and give us the map, and if we delay it any longer, Luoshui will be more than just flooding the ferry. ”

When she said this, Luo Lingzhi was also very surprised in her heart, obviously when she and Gu Huaiyi came over, the Luoshui was only immersed outside the ferry, how could it be that the ferry was submerged in less than two hours, and the Luoshui rose faster than they predicted.

was slapped violently, Cui Taishou didn't dare to get angry, and immediately took Luo Lingzhi and Gu Huaiyi to get the map.

The whole person's face was pale, his beard was shaking, and his voice was tense, "Luoshui can be cured, will it really pour into Sichuan City, here, there are hundreds of thousands of people here!" ”

Cui Taishou thought that there was an accident on both sides of Luoshui, and Emperor Feng directly sent Jiang Mao, who simply dealt with the disaster in a way that was almost completely destroyed. He didn't dare to expect that if something really happened to Chuancheng, Emperor Feng would remember the long-lost benevolence and sincerely come to the disaster relief, it would be whimsical at all.

"Now I know I'm worried!"

Luo Lingzhi took the map and looked coldly at Cui Taishou, who looked panicked, but he also knew that this person was much stronger than Jiang Mao's generation, and at least he would be really worried about the people under his jurisdiction, so he reminded: "Don't expect the embankment twenty miles outside the city to completely block Luoshui, for now, the only way to do this is to dredge the silted river while holding back the water or even dig a new river channel to drain it." ”

"Isn't this fortification too big, there is not so much food and silver in the treasury to support such a huge project, so I can only reluctantly send people to repair the city wall, and if there are more, I will pile up some sandbags ......on it," Cui Taishou said more and more pale, realizing that if he was alone, he was afraid that he would not be able to cope with the surging Luoshui flood at all.

It won't be long before the ferry can be flooded so quickly, and then the levee is smeared.

But there weren't many supplies in the treasury.

"Cui Taishou, how many supplies do you have in Chuancheng now?"

Gu Huaiyi knew that it was not enough for them to have this kind intention to save Chuancheng, if they really wanted to do something, the food and silver should not be missing, otherwise would the soldiers and the people work in vain?

Everyone has to eat, otherwise they will be hungry and will not have the strength to work!

Cui Taishou immediately looked up at the civil official who had just come in to say that Luoshui had flooded the ferry, "Chief Xun, you are in charge of the affairs of the treasury, you are the most clear, quickly, tell me how many supplies we have now." ”

Chief Xun frowned, his family knew his own affairs, and he knew very well what was in the treasury, so he made a more bitter face, shook his head and said: "My lord doesn't know, even our Sichuan City has been affected a lot by the continuous famine, and in the past two years, we have been opening warehouses one after another to release grain, and the remaining grain is less than 5,000 stone ......."

"So little?"

Before Chief Xun finished speaking, Cui Taishou exclaimed directly.

frowned and said: "This is only 500,000 catties of grain, which is not enough at all!" ”

Seeing that his family was too anxious to turn around, Chief Xun calmed down, and he could clearly calculate the specific cost without an abacus, and said in a clear manner: "Combined with the previous repair of the city wall, this time the situation is more urgent, if the Luoshui overflows, almost all the city walls in the northwest direction are flooded, there are nearly 100 miles, at least thousands of people have to be repaired at the same time, and tens of thousands of catties of food will be consumed in one day." ”

Not only did Cui Taishou look ugly when he heard this, but Gu Huaiyi also pursed his lips.

There is simply not enough food!

However, Luo Lingzhi was still silent, but looked at the middle-aged elder in front of him with bright eyes, and his ability to settle accounts was no worse than Uncle Liu.

"My lord, what I just said is only a small expense."

Without waiting for Cui Taishou to speak, Chief Xun continued: "Building the city wall is the least expensive part. The most important thing is to dredge and even dig the canal, this is hard work, think that Emperor Yuan used 500,000 soldiers and slaves to dig the canal together, it took three years, and the food and materials spent, tsk, it was a bottomless pit at all! ”

Cui Taishou jumped to his feet, "We don't learn from Emperor Yuan to do that unprecedented event!" It's just to unclog the clogged waterways nearby, and it doesn't take so many people! There aren't that many of them! ”

"Taishou, don't be in a hurry to tell me what is right and wrong! Even if we don't need 500,000 people, if we want to dredge the river before the water backs up, we will have to start construction at the same time. After all, even if we try our best to block Luoshui with dikes and city walls, it is impossible to stop Luoshui forever! ”

"In less than three days, there will be heavy rain."

Luo Lingzhi on the side said something worse.

She checked with the water system ability, and the water system spiritual power around her was slowly gathering again, and it would rain heavily sooner or later.

Chief Xun nodded, "Xiaguan, I have also been observing the celestial phenomena recently, and there will indeed be heavy rain." Therefore, if you want to dredge the river before Luoshui comes in, then at least tens of thousands of people will start work at the same time, and if you carefully calculate it, you will have to ask for at least 100,000 catties of grain a day. The most important thing is that almost all the people in the city have no food in stock, and these 5,000 stone grain must be stored just in case they can't be moved at all! Otherwise, Chuancheng will not be flooded by Luoshui, and we ourselves will starve to death! ”

"After that, the Luoshui flood is the most important thing right now! This must be managed! ”

Cui Taishou, who was sitting on the ground, was riveted, gritted his teeth and said: "The city wall must be repaired, sandbags must be prepared, and the river must also be dredged!" This has to be done! ”

Seeing that his lord's temper came up, Chief Xun raised his eyelids and said lightly: "Where is the grain?" ”

Cui Taishou's pale face turned red again at the moment, and he muttered, "I wrote a letter to borrow food." ”

Chief Xun rolled his eyes, "My lord, you must know that the surrounding areas of Luoshui have suffered floods, and the rice that will be harvested in about half a month has been flooded, and there is no food at all. From whom can you borrow at least 20,000 stones? ”

"What about Qinghe Cui's family?"

Cui Taishou asked unrelentingly.

Chief Xun let out a long sigh, "My lord, this is 20,000 stone of grain, not 20,000 catties." Not to mention whether the Cui family can exhaust themselves to rescue us, but it will take a month to transport grain from Qinghe, and this will still not encounter the rebels who have already killed red-eyed along the way! So, if you can't be saved, let's run away quickly, and it's a ...... to be able to walk."

"Without a boat, where, how can you run out?"

Cui Taishou trembled, and his eyes were dazed.

Gu Huaiyi was also almost unstable when he heard it, is Chuancheng really hopeless?
